Broccoli And Garlic Breadcrumb Spaghetti

This fast-to-make pasta dish is a good way to use up leftover stale bread and, at the same time, to include a healthy green vegetable in your diet! adapted from a recipe in 'the australian women's weekly's cooking on a shoestring'. adjust the garlic to your liking and don't include the lemon juice if you don't care for citrus flavours! you could, of course, use another vegetable in place of the broccoli and you could add onion. if you're not keen on cumin, omit it and add a favourite herb. i've also posted my adaptations of some other recipes from 'cooking on a shoestring': recipe #365835 and recipe #366217.
